As you may already know, Patrick Rothfuss‘s charity Worldbuilders tends to do some pretty awesome things to raise money for Heifer International. Like many authors, I try to do something special every year to help out. Sometimes I have helped match donations, or auctioned off a seat at the annual Author D&D game, or worn a Hawaiian shirt. And always, I send signed books.

This year, however, I got roped into something extra special. My buddy Myke Cole called and said, “Hey, I promised Pat I’d shave my head as an act of whimsy if the fundraiser meets the $25,000 mark. Will you do the honors?”

“Sure,” I said, “if I can do it with a straight razor.”

“Er,” Myke said. “Have you ever used a straight razor?”

“Nope,” I said. “But I saw Bugs Bunny do it a bunch of times. How hard can it be?”

The result was frightening and hilarious. Pat actually called to try and talk us out of it. I dare you to watch the video and not LOL:

Please say you were singing something from Sweeney Todd while this was going on?

[…] PR: Yeah. We try to spread the word about the charity by doing fun little stunts to catch people’s attention. Like when Hank Green did a music video for us. Or when Myke Cole had Peter V. Brett shave his head. […]
